Answer:

Diffusion occurs when there is movement of minerals from an area of higher to lower concentration, till equilibrium is obtained.

Whereas Osmosis is the movement of solvents rather then the solute, from a solution of lower to a solution of higher concentration with the help of semipermeable membrane.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of substances from area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration of minerals, which mainly results in animal cells. Whether solute or solvent, diffusion occurs for both. Diffusion does not requires any semi permeable membrane. Diffusion occur in all state of matter, that solid, liquid and gas, whereas osmosis occurs only in liquid state. Osmosis requires semipermeable membrane and rate of which is related to concentration of solute dissolution in solvent medium. Only movement of solvent medium takes place. Classical example of osmosis is exhibited by cell membranes of animal cells. On the other hand diffusion is the spreading of perfume or fragrances to the external air.

In prokaryotes, genes can exist as operons that are transcribed into a polycistronic mRNA, containing multiple genes in a single

Ronch [10]

Complete question:

Question: In prokaryotes, genes can exist as operons that are transcribed into a polycistronic mRNA, containing multiple genes in a single transcript. In eukaryotes, transcripts exist only as monocistronic mRNA containing a single gene. What fundamental genetic difference is responsible for this distinction?

(A) mRNA is transported outside of the nucleus in eukaryotes.

(B) Prokaryotic mRNA has a five-prime GTP cap.

(D) In eukaryotes, each gene has its own transcription initiation site

Answer:

(D) In eukaryotes, each gene has its own transcription initiation site

Explanation:

Eukaryotic mRNAs are monocistronic in nature which means that one mRNA carries the single transcript to be encoded. Each monocistronic mRNA is encoded by a stretch of a gene that has a specific initiation site to start the process of transcription. On the other hand, prokaryotes have some mRNAs that carry the code for two or more different polypeptides. These mRNAs are called polycistronic. For a polycistronic mRNA, multiple transcripts are transcribed under the single transcription initiation site.
